### 2/5 — iPadのキーボードショートカット

*2026-07-21*

キーボードショートカットをするのに追加課金しないといけない。iPadOS26で、タッチで曲選択、再生するためにキーボードショートカットを行っても、フォーカスが曲選択のままになり再生等のショートカットが効かない。画面上のコントロールフォーカスが上手く推移しない事はメーカーも認識しているみたいで、サポートに相談したら今度直すよとの事だったけど4.9.4でまだ治ってない。以前まともに動作していたiPadOS17環境でもキーボードショートカットが機能しなくなってる。OSの問題じゃなくてこのアプリのver.4.9の問題なのははっきりしました。。何卒修正お願いします🙇🙇🙇

キーボードショートカットをするのに追加課金しないといけない。iPADOS17まではうまく機能するけど、18以降だと、フォーカスが上手く機能しないみたいで、まともにショートカットが動かない。サポートに相談したら直すよとの事だったけど4.9.3でまだ治ってないね。。

### 3/5 — Sort out audio marks

*2026-07-07, version 4.9.3*

Sort out these dumb audio marks. It takes a second to put one in and an hour to find out how to delete it. Dumb that is. Make it so i can delete it as easy as i accidentally hit the button and put it in

### 5/5 — Please fix this new bug you just introduced

*2026-06-05, version 4.9.0*

My app just updated itself to a new version and it no longer has the “back” button in the upper left corner, so after opening up a playlist I can no longer back out and get to my full list of playlists to open a new playlist!! Also I opened up an artist and I can’t get back to the list of all artists. Please fix this, I am using iOS.

### 5/5 — この金額でこの機能！

*2026-06-03*

月々支払いがほとんどなのに、一度払えば、ずっと高機能を使える！
もう最高😊

### 3/5 — 이거 어떻게 쓰는거죠

*2026-05-01*

이거 어떻게 쓰는건지 잘 모르겠고 어려워서 초보자에겐 추천 별로 안 드려요

### 3/5 — Not so great

*2026-04-19, version 4.8.5*

Doesn’t transcribe well and doesn’t work well with music apps

### 5/5 — Pitch indicator

*2026-04-13, version 4.8.5*

This is a great top. The only thing missing , is a pitch indicator,so that when you alter the pitch, you know what you’ve altered it to.

### 5/5 — Great for slowing down music

*2026-03-22, version 4.8.5*

I slow down music or rifs to practice. To my surprise the music stays in the original key.

### 2/5 — Songs often restricted

*2026-02-17, version 4.8.5*

I don’t use Apple Music. I’ve been importing tunes by screen recording it and importing the file, but now it’s not letting me play a lot of songs. I feel like I wasted my money

### 5/5 — Great for music practice; EVEN BETTER for better living thru music

*2026-02-01, version 4.8.5*

Everything you need to take control of music and make make it do what you need it to do for you.

- customize EQ filters and curves
- linear speed/pitch ramps (control speed and pitch independantly and change them gradually over time)
- isolate/suppress instruments or frequency ranges
- change speed and pitch either real time irl OR gradually automatically (parameter automation/modulation), same with Volume/Gain and Panning
- practice automated speed and pitch changes over 2-100 loops. You can t practice on your instrument or you can use it simply for acoustic effect

### 5/5 — Excelente!

*2026-01-31*

Aplicativo ótimo para estudar guitarra!❤️🎸

### 5/5 — Grade A Quality!

*2026-01-23, version 4.8.5*

Ayo…I challenge you to purchase the pro pack and simply change the pitch of the song 😮‍💨. If you don’t like it I’ll let you slap me if we ever meet lol. Nah but no lie, that ALONE is the reason I now have all the add-ons for this app. Then the export one allows you to change the kbps I think up to 390, but 256kbps is enough to make the song o.d clear. Man just get the pro and change the pitch…it’s interesting to say the least 💯! UNDERRATED APP 4 SURE

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2025-11-13, version 4.8.5*

I have used this app for years. It’s great once you get a song working in it. The problem is it does not pick up all the songs on your iPhone. And hit randomly crashes for various reasons, one seemingly Bluetooth connection with headphones maybe. I don’t know, but It’s getting too frustrating to use.

### 5/5 — Sugerencia

*2025-11-10, version 4.8.5*

Excellent app, I recommend it 100%. In my opinion, they should add tap tempo.

### 5/5 — Максимально удобная программа

*2025-11-10*

Постоянно использую для подбора композиций. Нужны платные пакеты для загрузки файлов и всех функций нужных, но с ними просто супер

### 5/5 — I use AnyTune extensively to learn new songs

*2025-11-05, version 4.8.5*

I would really like to see “Data Not Collected” in the privacy section. That’s my ‘first thing to check” for any new app. Especially for an app with a hefty price tag.

AnyTune has transformed the way I learn new songs and practice.
I use AnyTune almost every day on my iPad. I seldom use the speed change feature but I use the pitch change all the time to match the song pitch to instruments of different keys.
I think I have bought every in app purchase for AnyTune.
I highly recommend AnyTune for all musicians.

I make extensive use of the markers or flags and often make my own notations in the flags. I often wish I could add flags of different colours, for instance to mark things that are not part of the song notation, such as breath marks or start of verse or chorus. I sometimes find the 2 characters limit on custom flags is a pain. And sometimes I find the flags too wide when I need several marks close together. But those are minor details

### 1/5 — Lowdown

*2026-04-03, version 4.8.5*

I deleted the app because I could only have 3 songs on my playlist tell me why when I tried downloading it again it said i will have to pay for a subscription I’ve had this app for 3 years and now it’s saying I need a subscription that’s wrong and yall lowdown asf

### 1/5 — 3 free import is crazy

*2026-01-07, version 4.8.5*

What inconvenience could me importing files from my files app to your app possibly have for you? Your just adding micro transactions to bare minimum features a music app should have free

### 1/5 — Sooo complicated to use

*2025-08-24, version 4.8.3*

Spending most of my time fighting with bells and whistles to work properly. Absolute not intuitive app. I regret my purchase.

### 1/5 — Avoid

*2025-08-12, version 4.8.3*

All the songs I purchased via iTunes I can no longer play unless I subscribe to Apple Music. Disgusting and disappointing.

### 1/5 — Money grab

*2025-08-09, version 4.8.2*

I’ve never seen an ap charge for every single thing possible.

### 1/5 — not enough features to justify being paid?

*2025-08-05, version 4.8.2*

it told me i only got 3 free imports before i ran out and had to pay for more (actually i only had 2 imports) but that's still crazy? the app UI is really ugly and poorly designed imo, and the only thing i could find use for it was for slowing and pitching songs, that's literally it, then exporting them to garageband and doing everything else there because this app doesn't have even reverb, echo, bass boost, treble, compression, live mix, breaks, nothing. none of that. justify to me why this should be paid when all it can do is stretch out my song to 0.65x? and i have to use another (mind you, free) app to do all of the extra work? so so inconvenient.

### 1/5 — Bad bad bad

*2025-07-18, version 4.8.1*

Too glitchy

### 1/5 — Broken

*2025-07-05, version 4.8.1*

This app use to work great the. They have now made it useless. Don’t waste your time or money

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2025-06-11, version 4.8.1*

I’ve had this app for years and it’s slowly become completely useless. This app no longer plays and DRM protected songs from iTunes on my iPhone and I feel like I was just robbed $20+ dollars for an app that doesn’t work anymore. Pretty much every song I try and play is now DRM protected.

### 1/5 — No longer works with Apple

*2025-06-03*

I used to use this app (free version) fairly often to just mess around with music but after a recent update the app can no longer find the music in my Apple Music library. 

I have the music downloaded and when I try to find the audio files the app asks for permission to Apple Music library, I say okay, it takes me to settings where there is no option for access. 

I’ve seen a reply from the developer saying it doesn’t work with apple anymore due to copyright protections, it’s just too bad, it was a fun app to mess around with.

### 5/5 — A great way to break down a tune.

*2026-08-26, version 4.9.5*

It’s a great teaching tool that I use with my Guitar Students. I also use it personally to break down difficult guitar parts. I particularly like the ability to loop section with the AB function.

### 5/5 — Best kept secret

*2026-07-23, version 4.9.4*

Where do I start? This app means so much to me. I am able to manipulate the music to my liking, use any sound file & no adds. I could go on forever, thank u Anytune. Instagram / trvngeee

### 5/5 — Best….

*2026-07-22, version 4.9.4*

Transcription tool ever!

### 5/5 — Great for Practicing Anything

*2026-07-21, version 4.9.4*

I use Anytune to help me learn intricate parts of songs on guitar, bass, and drums. I use the regular version, not the Pro and it does everything I personally need.

### 5/5 — No church in the wild frank onceon my favorite song

*2026-07-16, version 4.9.4*

The any tune pro side should be the slow side be 0.01 and high should be 65.00

### 5/5 — La meilleure app pour apprendre à jouer d’un instrument à l’oreille

*2026-07-06*

Tout est dit dans le titre, cette application est juste fabuleuse. Déjà dans sa version gratuite, il devient irrésistible d’acheter les modules. Merci aux développeurs!

### 5/5 — Wonderful app

*2026-07-06, version 4.9.2*

I can’t be more happy with this app. I use it to practice my routine.

### 5/5 — Couldn’t be without it

*2026-06-24, version 4.9.2*

Makes learning new covers a piece of cake.  All the tools I could possibly want right there at my fingertips.

### 5/5 — Anytune

*2026-06-09, version 4.9.2*

A wonderful program to change the pitch and transcribed definitely worth it

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-06-06, version 4.9.0*

Any tune has been a major tool for me in my musical journey as a intermediate choir singer. It provides all the necessary functions that I need.
